US President Joe Biden’s refusal to attend the coronation of Britain’s King Charles III in May will be seen by Tory parliamentarians as a stab in the back for the UK. This message was broadcast by the newspaper L’Express.
The US leader is known to be planning to arrive in Northern Ireland on April 11 for the anniversary of the Belfast Agreement, which ended a long conflict in the region.
It was on this trip that Biden explained his future non-presence in London. Biden also spoke about his fatigue and noted that it was too difficult for him to walk long distances.
Biden’s refusal was hugely disappointing to members of Britain’s Conservative Party. Some MPs have drawn attention to the fact that such a move by the US president indicates his blatant disregard for trusting relations with Britain in general.
Earlier it was reported that current US President Joe Biden would not be able to represent the US side at the coronation of Britain’s King Charles III in London, scheduled for May. However, the head of state will be replaced by his wife, US first lady Jill Biden, the White House said.
Biden’s refusal to attend Charles III’s coronation has been called a ‘stab in the back’ in the UK.
